ish comments: With
reference to the melody
used to write the
Fanstasia-Concerto, the
composer Jordi Cervello
says: A few years ago, a
friend of mine, Jorge
Wagensberg sang me a
beautiful old Jewish
melody inspired by the
hymn Leja Dodi (Come, my
beloved) by the Sefardie
cabbalist Solomon Alkabez
(1505-1576), who is
buried in Israel. I was
immediately entranced by
its two extensive
thematic ideas which
complement each other
perfectly. Its melodic
and folk qualities seemed
to me to make it an ideal
theme for a work for
guitar and orchestra. The
orchestration is a fine
thread of metallic
timbres, which are
present both in the very
delicate subtleties of
the pianissimi passages
and the brilliant tutti.
Moreover, the cler tonal
definition of the melody
contrasts with audacious
harmonic contrapunctual
textures, characteristic
of the most advanced
musical styles of our
times. The solo guitar
part is a model piece of
compositon for the
guitar, both for its
melody and harmony. It
puts forward extremely
original formulas which
are very effective from
an instrumental point of
view. Its abundant use of
arpeggios, chords,
harmonic pedals and other
instrumental resources
ensure that the dialogue
with the orchestra is
based completely on
guitar-playing
techniques, putting the
guitarist's expressive
skill and mastery to the
test. This work was first
performed on December 3
1997 in Sabadell's La
Farandula Theatre
performed by the Valles
Symphonic Orchestra
conducted by its
permanent conductor
Salvador Brotons. The
guitar solo part was
played by Jaume Torrent,
to whom the work is
dedicated.
Comen
tarios del
Espanol: En relacion
al origen de la melodia
utilizada en este
Concierto-Fantasia, el
compositor Jordi Cervello
comenta: Hace ya algunos
anos, mi amigo Jorge
Wagensberg me canto una
antigua y deliciosa
melodia judia compuesta
sobre el himno Leja Dodi
(Ven mi bien amada) del
cabalista sefardi Solomon
Alkabez (1505-1576), cuya
tumba se encuentra en
Israel. En seguida me
cautivo por las dos
amplias ideas tematicas
que contiene, las cuales
se complementan muy
armoniosamente. Por sus
caracteristicas melodicas
y por su caracter popular
me parecio un tema ideal
para una obra de guitarra
y orquesta. La
orquestacion de este
concierto es una
filigrana de sugerencias
timbricas, presentes
tanto en las mas
delicadas sutilezas de
los pianissimi como en
los efusivos tutti.
Asimismo, la clara
definicion tonal de la
melodia contrasta con
audaces texturas
armonicas y
contrapuntisticas propias
de la estetica musical de
nuestros dias. La parte
del instrumento solista
en un modelo de escritura
guitarristica, tanto
desde el punto de vista
melodico como del
armonico y propone
formulas que resultan de
una gran originalidad y
eficacia instrumental. La
prodigalidad de arpegios,
acordes, pedales
armonicos y otros
recursos instrumentales,
garantizan un dialogo con
la orquesta desde un
lenguaje plenamente
guitarristico, a traves
del cual, el interprete
pone a prueba tanto su
capacidad expresiva como
la vituosistica. El
estreno de esta obra tuvo
lugar el dia 3 de octubre
de 1997 en el Teatro La
Farandula de Sabadell,
interpretada por la
Orquesta Sinfonica del
Valles bajo la direccion
de su director titular
Salvador Brotons, y
actuando como solista el
guitarrista Jaume Torrent
a quien esta dedicada la
obra.
